week six… sux.
well, i hit my first “stall” in that the scale did not move this week. i weigh in on wed’s, and the scale blinked the same 252 at me as it did last week. i squinted my eyes and asked the scale if it was sure about that, and it said yes, now get off me.
i’ve been reading the obesity help ontario forum religiously for months and months, and from what i’ve read, many people experience a small stall around the 3 week mark. just your body catching up with the huge shock of surgery and rapid weight loss. understandable. but still, frustrating because i am an instant gratification junkie and want GREAT RESULTS EVERY WEEK GODDAMNIT. sure, this is totally unreasonable, but so am i, dear readers.
i will wait till next week and see what the scale says before i think about changing anything i’ve been doing. i do eat carbs, though i do try to keep them below 50-70 gm/day. i figure i like them, and i can eat them without binging thanks to my new tiny banana-shaped tummy, so if i can continue losing, they stay. if i see that they’re causing the scale to stop moving, i’ll cut them down. i hope i don’t have to though, cause i loves them. fwiw, i try to keep my carbs in the “good” or complex category with fruits and whole grains, but i have been known to respond to frozen yogurt’s sweet siren song from time to time
